1 SAD TRAGEDY.

4 sad tragedy occurred in room
203 in the Kimball House in Allan
ia last Sunday night, resulting in
the killing Of Mr.. Charles D. Horn,
of the firm of Miles & Horn, contrac-
tors for the building of the new State
capitol. The room was occupied by
J. (. Lewis, Of New York, and his
friends, Mr. Horn and Mr. Sam Ven
able, were in the room chatting
pleasantly, when later they were
joined by V. j. Pagan, OF the South
crn Granite Company, II. b. Deas
and L. Jung. A. Il. Veal, of Stone
Mountain, and John Mcclellan, step
ped into the room looking for Pagan
by invitation to call. They had been
to Fagan's room but was told that
Pagan was in Lewis room. Sam
Venable at once denounced Veal as
a coward and as unworthy of associa-
ton with gentlemen. This was ow-
ing to a difficulty they had been in
yolved in at Stone Mountain some
weeks previous when Veal had Ven
able arrested. Immediately a fight
ensued, Venable striking Veal in the
face and pressing him against the
bed. Horn grabbed Nenable to sep
arate them, when Veal pulled out
his pistol and attempted to shoot
NenabIe. He fired and the ball
struck Horn in the face killing him
instantly. Veal fired the second
time, when Venable pressed him to
the floor and knocked the pistol
against Veal's face cutting the flesh
badly. They were finally separated,
and it was discovered that Veal was
shot in the foot Veal and Nenable
we're both arrested. Veal claims he
was imposed upon and assaulted and
that he acted in self-defense. Veal's
right foot panied him and on exami-
nation it was found that he had a
pistol wound ON his right toot two
inches from his heel, the bullet cut
ting through his shoe and sock and
leaving cash the eighth of an inch
deep. As Veal's pistol shows only
two empty chambers, the question is,
who fired the third shot?

UNFAIR JOURNALISM,

We have observed in the columns
of some newspapers a disposition to
report criminal cases or difficulties
unfairly by giving a partizan coloring
favorable to some friend involved as
a participant, or distort facts that
give a justifying phase to the action
Iof the one they want to suffer pun
ishment. Editorial comment too is
sometimes made TO create public con-
demnation of the one, to the arous-
ing sympathy in favor Of the other.
Ism t this transcending the bounds of
impartial and fair-minded journalism
and using the power OF the press to
Cypress The press is a vehicle of
news and it should not say anything
or do anything, directly or indirectly,
calculated to prejudice the public
mind against fair trial of the one
whose life, liberty or property is in
jeopardy. The judge and jury are
the ones to pass judgment Of guilt or
innocence, and they should enter
upon their duties without being sub
jected to undue outside influence or
the preJudieed clamor created by a
prejudiced press to convict. The
press is potent for good or evil, and
every man should be given fair
showing before the public mind and
the courts. Manufactured sentiment
adverse to the accused before a trial
has been had, no matter how worked
up, smacks of the unfairness of lynch
law, and sometimes is as fatal in its
results. When newspaper departs
from this fair course, it is dangerous
to the liberty of the citizen. The
press of New York has frequently
bounded down men in advance Of
their trials and helped to convict
them. We hope the press of Georgia
will not initiate so pernicious an ex-
ample.

FRESH MUMMIEs DUG OUT.

The following are extracts from a
private letter Of Rev. James. Dennis,
d. d., of Newark, now in Syria
"The excavations and discoveries
at Sidon still continue with remarka-
BILE results. The number of sarcopha-
q at present brought to light is
eighteen and some of them is most
magnificent, and will rank high
among archaeological treasures. They
are of enormous size, and the sculp-
ture is elaborate and in perfect pres
eryation. Upon one of them alone
are eighteen almost detached statutes
about three feet in height, without a
single scratch, and of pure marble
"The most remarkable of them
came to light last week. 1t IS an an
cient Phnnician sarcophagus which
has never been opened, and contain
ed a mummy and large amount Of
jewelry of great value The mummy,
when unrolled, was found to be the
body of a man in middle life, and the
state of preservation was astonishing.
The features, and in fact the entire
body, were intact: the flesh was ten
der and yielded to pressure, and
teeth, hair and viscera were all in
place. Upon the outside lid of the
sarcOphagus is an inscription Of sew
en- and a half lines IN Phnnician
character, and also one in Egyptian
hieroglyphics. The bi-lingual in
scription of such an ancient date ex-
cites great expectations. We shall
have to wait to have it deciphered by
the savants before we can know the
full value Of the statements it con-
tains. The sarcophagus is Of black
basalt such as comes from Egypt,
and it nay have been made in Egypt
by order of from Sidon. The date OF
it is, Of course, matter Of conjecture
as yet. 1t may be anywhere from
500 to 1900 B. c., and even older.
This strange being, who has been
brought forth literally from the tomb
of the ages to face the nineteenth
century who is he? What if he
should be Ethball, king of the lido
mans and father OF Jezebel, or some
older king who flourished in the ear
lier days of Great Kidon'? 1t is
more than probable that he was a
royal or princely character.
''Ihe value of this enormous find
is roughly estimated as approaching
a sum not Tar from SS00,000 One of
the European consuls in Beirut has
offered S25 900 for one of the sarco-
phagi. 1t was not accepted, and the
Turkish government is boxing the
entire lot, and have sent a special
steamer TO transport them to Con-
stantinople.
"The discovery Of the sarcophagus
of Ashmunazer, in 1855, just outside
Of Sidon, was regarded as an import
ant event. 1t also had Phnnician
inscription Of twenty-five lines, and
several interesting data were gath
cred from it. This is a far more
marvellous and magnificent upturn-
ing Of old Sidonian remains.
"The excavations still continue and
other treasures may be brought to
light a government official, Handy
Bey, from ConstantinOple, is super
intending the operations. These are
days Of great archaeological wonders.
Think Of the old Pharaohs on exhibi-
ton in the Boulak Museum in Cal
ro,"

According to the last census Of
Chicago there are in that city 1895
lawyers. OF these, 500 are supposed
to earn $3.50 a year eech. Five are
believed to have an income of $780,
900 each. The entire sum paid an
nually to Chicago's lawyers is esti-
mated to be 100000, most of
which comes out OF the pockets of
people who seek divorces. 1t is
probable that New York lawyers ay-
erage larger fees than any others in
the country.

In treating a negro in Leipsic for
al liberated affection it vas found
necessary to replace portions Of the
skin with pieces taken from one or
two white persons. These latter
pieces gradually grew darker in col
or, and finally as black as the pa.
TENTS own skin. This singular fact
led to an experiment being made Of
transposing portions of black skin on
a white patient, and it was found
that after few weeks these began
to grow pale. In less than fourteen
weeks they had, in fact, grown SC
white as not to be distinguishable
from the patients natural skin.

There is : novel bet in existence
between two Atlanta men. Ii grows
out Of the old idea that if rain falls
on the first dog day it will tall on
every one of the forty days. Forty
dollars is the amount for the pot.
Whenever it rains the man who bet
Oh the rain takes a dollrr. When
ever the day is fair the other fellow
takes dollar. So fan the rain man
has won steady since July %, the day
on which the bet began.
